Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — APD’s Fatal Crash Team responded to a double fatal motor vehicle crash at the intersection of Coors Blvd NW and Irving Blvd NW, just before 10:00pm last night.
The early investigation shows a motorcyclist was traveling northbound on Coors Blvd NW. Witnesses on scene stated the motorcyclist appeared to be racing another motorcycle, approaching a stationary white sedan in the middle lane of northbound Coors Blvd. The two motorcycles “split” the white sedan to get around it. The motorcyclist entered the intersection and struck a pedestrian who was crossing Coors Blvd., east to west, in the crosswalk. The motorcycle traveled approximately 450 feet after the collision and struck a curb, gas station fuel price sign and a tree. The motorcyclist was transported to a local hospital where they were declared deceased. The driver of the second motorcycle fled the scene.
AFR and Albuquerque Ambulance responded to the scene to perform life saving measures, however the pedestrian was deceased on scene. The pedestrian has not yet been identified.
The motorcycle involved in the crash was reported stolen out of the state of Alabama.
Speed appears to be a factor in the collision.
